Hot Deals from Hotwire for July
Hotwire offers lots of great deals, but there's a catch. You don't actually see the name of the hotel you're checking into (or its location!) until after you make the non-refundable booking! However, the hotels they use are "brand-name" hotels, so there's some security there. ALL BOOKINGS ARE FINAL.
Nevertheless, you're able to get some great deals this way.
Right now I'm looking at hotel deals in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Special 5 day rate, checking in July 12 for 5 nights
3-star hotel, near the East Strip
Check in on July 12, and stay for 5 nights, and you can get a rate of $29 per room per night. It's a 3-star hotel...could be the Holiday Inn, Radisson, Double Tree Inn or something similar. It'll be located near the East Strip of Las Vegas. Of course the $29 room rate doesn't include the $10 resort fee that the hotel also charges every day (that's a Las Vegas thing, apparently) and doesn't include taxes. Nevertheless, a base rate of $39 a day is nothing to sneeze at. (The hotel collects the fee from you, you won't see it on the Hotwire booking form.)
3 star hotel, downtown Las Vegas
The base rate at this hotel (again, could be Holiday Inn, Radisson, Double Tree or something similar) is only $20 per night! This hotel also has a resort fee, but it's only $5 per night - collected from you separately each night, rather than on your Hotwire booking form.
5 star condo, Central strip
If you think you're going to be lucky at the casinos, why not get a 5-star condo on the Central strip for only $86 per night. Of course, they charge a resort fee - $20 per night.
Here's some more info about condos:
Most condos offer separate sleeping and living areas and a full kitchen or kitchenette.
For groups, condos can offer better value compared with multiple hotel rooms.
Features typically include a separate bedroom and living room, full kitchen or kitchenette, and laundry facilities.
Housekeeping service is not usually provided during your stay, unless the condo lists a "Daily Housekeeping" amenity. Housekeeping service may be available upon request and/or provided for a fee payable directly to the property.
And note that you need to be at least 21 to reserve any of these rooms.
